song—merry hae i been teethin a heckle
tune—“the bob o' dumblane.”
o merry hae i been teethin' a heckle,
an' merry hae i been shapin' a spoon;
o merry hae i been cloutin' a kettle,
an' kissin' my katie when a' was done.
o a' the lang day i ca' at my hammer,
an' a' the lang day i whistle and sing;
o a' the lang night i cuddle my kimmer,
